Looking for a summer dress

11 replies

I’m in search of the perfect summery dress that I can breastfeed in. Looking for something that is button down, midi length, floaty and cool, ideally a small floral print or a block colour. Nothing too fitted as I just had a baby so have a fair bit of baby weight to lose. Happy to pay up to £60

I know there are a lot of this style around at the moment because I keep getting adverts on social media but now now it comes to finding something my mind is drawing a blank.

This style would be ideal but I don’t want anything too cheap/see through etc so I’m reluctant to buy from Shein as I assume it’s pretty poor quality

any suggestions or tips of where to look?

Sosander do some lovely dresses like you describe.

I’m not sure how floaty it is but Nobody’s Child do a button through tea dress in a wide range of colours & prints and with a good price. The whole site is worth a look

Ro&Zo at John Lewis have that style although over budget… their green one is shorter knee length but they have this blue one.

Hush have the green but slightly over budget and limited sizes. ( for some reason won’t let me add the image)

I actually have a different style dress in the same fabric from Shein that you linked to. It is light, but I wouldn’t say see through, although at the same time, I wouldn’t wear black underwear with it.

the quality seems ok on the things I bought, but 8 have found their sizing a little inconsistent. I have one strappy dress that the top is about 4 inches too wide under the arms, yet it is the same size as the others which fit.

Ebay - maternity clothes are usually in really good condition as not worn for long

I've just bought this, currently BF (trying to wean) and pregnant and wanted something to cover up my tummy. It's not button down but is so unbelievably cool and comfortable. The strap and shirring pull down easily. I got the striped version but it comes in blue I think as well :)

Thank you for all the suggestions, I’m going to have a look through now
